Hey there! I'm a single dad with 2 teen-kids, medical professional, who enjoys country living and sharing it with others. I've lived in far-Northern CA and Southern Oregon my whole life, except for school/training, so State of Jefferson is my home. We bought this land in 2017, when it was just brush, poison oak, and a rotten bridge. Learn more about this land: Campsite on 72 acres along beautiful Jumpoff Joe Creek. Shaded, adjacent to romantically lighted timber-frame private covered bridge (no traffic). Very secluded, but only 1/2 mile from I-5 (no freeway noise, though). Private "beach" area and kid-friendly water play area with wild creatures (turkey, deer, fish, crayfish, water striders, turtles, frogs, etc.). Picnic table, tent spots, and fresh water spigot. Short hiking trails (watch out for poison oak!). Best for tenting, smaller RV's, tree tents, or rooftop tents. >100 yards from nearest structure. 3 nights max except by private arrangement. NO smoking/vaping/marijuana. NO wood fires, but propane fire-ring is available -- bring your own propane tank or pay $5 extra to use my propane tank if available. Good cell service from Google Fi/USCellular. WiFi available on porch of owner's house by request. Private single campsite on 72 acres along beautiful Jumpoff Joe Creek.

So peaceful!

The tent site is beautiful and well-maintained. Marcus already had the propane hooked up for us, so it was seamless. The creek runs right behind the campsite, so you hear it running all night. Super peaceful. We were lucky, with dry, cool weather. There’s a picnic table and a clean port-a-potty. The bench by the creek is a lovely place for morning coffee! ☕️ Would definitely come back. No trouble with GPS finding the site, good phone signal with T-Mobile.

Private, beautiful and convenient

So private and quiet. Very beautiful spot and just a short way from I-5 near Grants Pass, so also very convenient stopover. High marks all around.

My Mom’s favorite!

What an amazing spot-Marcus has created a wonderful camping experience! Fire ring (which we didn’t get to use but appreciate its presence), benches, picnic table, water, access to the creek, porta-potty, shower-everything you might need for a great trip. Beautiful property- walking path, covered bridge, gorgeous creek and so many trees-a fantastic view all around. Very private as well. So far this is my Mom’s favorite Hipcamp! Unfortunately I am sensitive to noise and could hear I5 which was surprising- it only slightly affected my view of the site. Not a deal-breaker by any means. We also discovered that our two dogs love acorns (which we discovered are poisonous to dogs) so keeping them away from them was a small issue. In all of the most important ways this property is a must see, if you are in the area or not, our drive was 2 1/2 hours! Thank you so much for having us!

This place was everything we could possibly ask for! A perfect private place in the woods but just 10 Mins from the city! We loved having access to a shower and toilet and Marcus was very responsive! Highly recommend it!

Very beautiful spot.

Absolutely amazing!! Secluded on a beautiful river right at your campsite. Beautiful lighted bridge for scenery. Loved having a clean bathroom and heated outdoor shower. Didn’t meet the host because we didn’t need anything. However he has an amazing camp spot that I would highly recommend.
